So what if you can probe DDC but can't actually read an EDID of any
kind? IMO that's a detect failure.

Or how about things like CEC attach? Seems natural to do it at
.detect(). Doing it at .get_modes() just seems wrong. However, it needs
the EDID for physical address.

I just don't think one size fits all here.
